audi powered windows

[dc10]

drivers window stopped working so i pulled the bits and pieces off and it seemed the plug for the motor had some broken pins. off to local wreckers 4 replacement plug but the three mk3's there all had a totally different setup. same deal on another two at the next wreckers. mine is a '94 and these were all at least '95-96's but it was completely different. wreckers say the VAG part number on the bit i was chasing was the audi A3 setup???
so wondering whether this was fitted at time of build as an equivalent because they'd run out or if its been retrofitted by a repairshop at some stage to save a buck. has anyone had same issue?
delivery on part was fortnight so my mate worked his soldering magic and this worked for a month or so but has stopped again.... so now im wondering if i should replace whats there or source the correct vw part?????:confused:

Sorry for long post but hard to explain and relying on passenger window is really starting to agitate me.
advice much appreciated!!

Thats a bit weird! Can't help you but I would have thought A3 windows would be a totally different setup to Mk3 windows ???

He has a VR6, btw.

What car is it?

Can you show us a pic of the thing?

There are aftermarket regs floating about which people swopped out when the originals broke.

its a sep '94 vr6. yeah i will get some pics tomor. on all the mk3s that i looked at for a replacement, the wiring harness actually plugs into the black plastic housing of the elec window motor whereas on my car the wiring harness connects to a similiar plug on a short lead with a D shaped plug on the end. this then plugs into wind motor.

very hard to explain clearly, but i will get some pics and post tomor
